A loving remake of a true horror great, Silent Hill 2 is creepy, a little too bloated and confusing, but hot dang does it feel good to shotgun monsters that look too X-rated for the "Terrifier" movies. But It's a shame the PC version disappoints.

Sadly, it doesn't feel quite as progressive or impactful as its Aussie predecessor, and there's a sense the sandbox series is ever so slightly coasting on its laurels.

8 / 10 - Watch Dogs 2
Nov 18, 2016

An endearingly daft sequel that ditches the original's dour action for a brand of subversive play that squeezes the most out of some cracking gadgets and a brilliant map.

A handsome, thoughtful blend of shooting and stealth that delights with its choice-driven play. Though it can feel painfully rushed at times, which is a shame.
